The fire destroyed a lot of pasture fencing, irrigation pipe and plastic water tanks, some crops and fruit trees, a few livestock, and a storage shed. Volunteers have helped: assess damage, repair and clear fence lines and apply for grants to help us fund the recovery efforts.

ARTfarm Fire Recovery: Rebuild Days continue, we’ll open again in a few weeks for Dragonfruit Season… no farmstand today

Dragonfruit vines put out fruit buds near the tip of their length.

We will be closed Saturday, but fire recovery volunteers can meet at 4pm in the parking lot.

See the top post on our site for ways to donate to support our recovery from this massive fire that burned more than half the farm and destroyed a lot of infrastructure.

Volunteering details

We will be meeting again at the farm entrance at 4pm on Saturday and Sunday to accomplish various cleanup and rebuilding efforts.  Please be on time. Non-smokers/non-tobacco users only please.

Our main focus this weekend is going to be repairing gates and fence lines to keep feral animals off the farm until we can make permanent repairs. Possibly some documentation and assessment tasks as well.

Lastly, if you are a tobacco smoker or user, we really would prefer if you would not help. It is still tomato season and there’s still a chance that our crops will get tobacco mosaic virus from having you out here handling tools, supplies and gates. 

Volunteers, please bring:

  • Gloves, long sleeves
  • Dust mask or fabric mask
  • Good sturdy work shoes
  • Drinking water
  • Loppers for pruning dead branches and vines off fencing
  • Hammers rebuilding manjack gates to make the farm secure from deer and dogs and continue ing to clear vines and branches off fence lines
  • Pole chainsaws

Grateful for your support of our family farm.
